About the Book
Death row inmate Mikey Strenton tells his life story, as courtroom
scenes unfold and others give testimony — the mother of a victim, the
prison chaplain, lawyers, prosecutors, prison guards, and other
inmates of death row. Their collective expression of suffering leads
to a moving indictment of a method of justice which leaves blood on
everyone’s hands. Article 5, based on Ms. Assante’s own experiences
corresponding with a death-row prisoner, presents the human face of
the death penalty—the object of explosive controversy.
